But as an instructor, you have to be careful of falling into traps. When these occur, you can be correct and argue youself blue in the face. Your students will not believe you. You have to ask them questions and let them figure it out for themself. When they arrive at the answer, they will think they thought of it themself and you are a very dumb instructor. That's fine. Just smile. You have done your job. They are thinking, and that is the only thing that counts. Now to apply this philosophy to my own case....
